Helps young players learn some racket and hitting at different speeds. Start with all your players on one side of the net or line. Use Hula Hoops, boxes or place cones to form boxes on the other side at different distance from the net or line. Players from the teams take turns tapping the ball over the line or net and trying to get the ball to roll and stay in the magic box. Once a team is successful they move to the next box. Progression: The boxes can get bigger and the farther they are from the line or net. You can eventually substitute players for the magic box and players try to hit different speeds to the different players. Tips: You can use a team format or individual players. Safety: Ensure players are well spread out.
